+As the files of inferior can come from untrusted source (such as submitted by

+@value{GDBN} provides the @samp{set auto-load safe-path} setting to list

+
+@table @code

+@kindex set auto-load safe-path
+@item set auto-load safe-path @var{directories}
+Set the list of directories (and their subdirectories) trusted for automatic
+loading and execution of scripts. You can also enter a specific trusted file.
+The list of directories uses directory separator (@samp{:} on GNU and Unix
+systems, @samp{;} on MS-Windows and MS-DOS) to separate directories, similarly
+to the @env{PATH} environment variable.

+host platform directory separator in use.
+@end table
+
+Setting this variable to an empty string disables this security protection.
+This variable is supposed to be set to the system directories writable by the

+their home directories (@pxref{Home Directory Init File}). See also deprecated
+init file in the current directory
+(@pxref{Init File in the Current Directory during Startup}).
+
+To force @value{GDBN} to load the files it declined to load in the previous
+example, you could use one of the following ways:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item ~/.gdbinit: add-auto-load-safe-path ~/src/gdb
+Specify this trusted directory (or a file) as additional component of the list.
+You have to specify also any existing directories displayed by
+by @samp{show auto-load safe-path} (such as @samp{/usr:/bin} in this example).
+
+@item @kbd{gdb -iex "set auto-load safe-path /usr:/bin:~/src/gdb" [@dots{}]}
+Specify this directory as in the previous case but just for a single
+@value{GDBN} session.
+
+@item @kbd{gdb -iex "set auto-load safe-path" [@dots{}]}
+Disable auto-loading safety for a single @value{GDBN} session.
+This assumes all the files you debug during this @value{GDBN} session will come
+from trusted sources.
+
+@item @kbd{./configure --without-auto-load-safe-path}
+During compilation of @value{GDBN} you may disable any auto-loading safety.
+This assumes all the files you will ever debug with this @value{GDBN} come from
+trusted sources.
+@end itemize
+
+On the other hand you can also explicitly forbid automatic files loading which
+also suppresses any such warning messages:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item @kbd{gdb -iex "set auto-load no" [@dots{}]}
+You can use @value{GDBN} command-line option for a single @value{GDBN} session.
+
+@item @samp{~/.gdbinit}: @samp{set auto-load no}
+Disable auto-loading globally for the user
+(@pxref{Home Directory Init File}). While it is improbable, you could also
+use system init file instead (@pxref{System-wide configuration}).
+@end itemize
+
+This setting applies to the file names as entered by user. If no entry matches
+@value{GDBN} tries as a last resort to also resolve all the file names into
+their canonical form (typically resolving symbolic links) and compare the
+entries again. @value{GDBN} already canonicalizes most of the filenames on its
+own before starting the comparison so a canonical form of directories is
+recommended to be entered.
